ABC reporter target of smear campaign

By SIMON HOUPT
From Saturday's Globe and Mail

New York — A Canadian-born journalist for ABC News is the target of a smear campaign after he broadcast a report about the plummeting morale among U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq.

Internet gossip Matt Drudge told The Washington Post yesterday that he had received a phone call from the White House communications department tipping him to the fact that reporter Jeffrey Kofman is not only gay, but also Canadian. The White House denied making the call.

Under the winking headline "ABC News reporter who filed troop complaint story is Canadian," the Drudge Report Web site provided a link to a profile of Mr. Kofman in The Advocate, a gay-issues magazine.

4. "pretty much makes me lose faith in the army

One soldier said the changes "pretty much makes me lose faith in the army. I mean, I don't really believe anything they tell me."

Another said, "If Donald Rumsfeld was here, I'd ask him for his resignation," referring to the U.S. Secretary of Defence.

So, I think the next reporting gig for this reporter is traveling the military wives club circuit. Make sure you have plenty of pictures of the cute little babies and the wifey in tears.
Lets play hardball.
